Buffalo University, 33-10, solidi-
fying their chances of avoiding a
second-straight losing season.
The 4-5 Danes host Marist this
Saturday, a hapless team Albany
has outscored 96-7 in their last
two meetings,

In this Saturday's game, junior
fullback Daye Soldini will need
155 yards to smash the school
season-rushing record of 1009
yards, set by Tom DeBlois in
1975, Soldini, after a slow first
half in which he fumbled twice,
compiled 90 yards last week to in-
crease his total to 855,

“It would be nice to get the
record," suid Soldini, “but I'm
not going to think about it, In the
first half 1 played too tight
because I thought about it too
much,"*

Soldini was not the only
backfield threat Saturday. Ro

evoked the highest praise from
Coach Bob Ford. Mitchell, fresh
off a record-setting 96-yard
touchdown return against
Hofstra, ran for two touchdowns
in the Buffalo game, inclu

offensive play of the game.

Now, after his recent perfor-
mances, he has solidified his star-
ting position.

“This year { was expecting
more playing time," said the
August Martin graduate, ‘The
last few weeks things have gotten
a lot better."*

The saga of the Danes’
freshman quarterback also keeps
getting better. Jeff Russell, look-
ing more in control of the
wishbone than ever before, scored
the Danes’ third touchdown on a
13-yard keeper to cap a crucial
94-yard drive late in the third
quarter,

“That was a big one," said
Russell, who was lifted in the
fourth quarter to rest his battered
body. ‘I felt good out there. f

Safety Wayne Anderson was
another key in the Danes’ fourth
victory. Besides playing an in-
tegral role’in shutting down the
Bulls’ aerial attack (known as
‘Dando's Airforce’), Anderson
threw for a 39-yard touchdown

for a first down on another fake,

NCAA’s Toner speaks at Hall of Fame ceremony

The fact that the National Collegiate
Athletic Association lost its exclusive
rights to televise college football games
will hurt Division III football according to
John Toner, the president of the NCAA
who spoke at Albany's inaugural Hall of

Fame inductions on Saturday,

Toner said that the NCAA will lose ap-
proximately $6 million of television
Fevenues it enjoyed last year. In previous
years, the NCAA had set aside money for
the Division III playoffs. The television
Money lost will cause the amount of
money that the Division III schools receive
to be cut,

“That means,"'said Toner, “that Divi-
sion III itself will have to find the ways and
means to fund the championships from
Division IIL resources.”

The Division III playoff format, accor-
ding to Toner, will expand from its current
eight-team format to double that size in
the near future,

It is inevitable,"said ‘Toner, ‘that
we'll go to 16 teams.”

Toner also said that he was not in favor
‘of a move for Albany State from its pre-
sent Division III status to the Division 1
ranks.

“Tam very much interested in this type
of Division III school,’ said Toner.

“Most Division III schools are small,
private schools with one-twelfth of the
students that the University at Albany has.
This shows some of the bigger schools that
they are not too good for Division III."
Toner, whose two-year term as president
of the NCAA comes to a close in the mid-
dle of January, has also served as the
Secretary-Treasurer of the Association.
His relationship with the NCAA goes back

“In those years," said Toner, ‘we've
spent as much time in the courts as we have
spent out of them,”

Director at the University of Connecticut,

favor to Albany's Athletic Director Dr.

Central Connecticut, a neighboring school
of the University of Connecticut,

After Moore spoke, the inductions of
the first five members of Albany's Hall of
Fame began. All of the inductees received
medallions at the induction ceremonies,

The first inductee was Gerald Amyot,
who won eight letters in basketball and
baseball, leading the baseball (cam in bat-

ting average in his junior and senior
seasons. He was also chosen to coach the
freshman basketball squad in his senior
year because of his distinguished career in
that sport. Amyot, who graduated in 1936,
was also given a special gold medal for be-
ing the “One Who Did the Most for
Athletics"? at a personal testimonial dinner
in his senior year. Saturday night, his
medallion was presented by Elmer
Mathews.

The next inductee was Edith Cobane,
who was a member of Albany's physical
education faculty from 1965 until her
death in 1980. Cobane was the chair of
both men’s and women's physical educa-
tion and she.was instrumental in develop-
ing Albany's physical education program.
She was the coach of Albany's gymnastics
team and was the driving force in getting
women's athletics where it is today. Her
medallion, which was presented by

niece, Cindy Cobane,

UAS reports $184,661 surplus in past fiscal year

By James O'Sullivan

University Auxiliary Services (UAS)
posted a $184,661 surplus for the
1983-1984 year, according to UAS General
Manager orbert Zahm.

The excess, he said, came mostly from
an improved computer system and a deci-
sion to pay for the system gradually

The information was released at last
month's General Membership meeting of
the UAS corporation, during which Dan
Altman, a SUNYA junior, was elected
UAS Board President for 1984-85,

Half of the $184,661 profit, Zahm said,
has already been set aside for the UAS
Long Range Planning Committee, which is
currently looking into a major campus
project for UAS to fund. The other $92,00
will be used for UAS operating expenses,
Zahm said.

There is currently $122,130 in the Long
Range Planning Account, and Zahm said
the money could go towards a project such
as a roller skating rink, a small sports com-
plex, or a UAS mini-mall building.

ahm estimated that any possible pro-
ject would cost “in the area of $1
million,” and that at least 30 percent of
the total cost would be needed for a down
payment

Most of the surplus came when the
money UAS set aside for bad debts (ser-
vices rendered but not paid for) was largely
unused, The account went from $115,00
budgeted to less than $10,000 used, mainly
as a result of a new computer system
which, Zahm said, allowed UAS to collect
more money sooner, so that less money
was at risk.

Further, UAS came out $64,560 ahead
when auditors determined that a computer
program developed for the bad debt ex-

pense computer should be depreciated over
several years, rather than have the entire
cost written off in one year. ‘We were an-
ticipating savings (with the program) but
not like this,"" Zahm said.

Interest on investments was ‘‘a major
support of the corporation," Zahm said,
adding that it provides ‘‘a substantial por-
tion of our net income each year.'’

“We're not very broad in investments,""
he said, ‘because we need to keep them
very safe and very liquid,” UAS invests,
Zahm said, in corporate loans where banks
act as agents, such as Traveler's Insurance,
General Motors, Fé
and General Electric, “The bank. says
‘we've got commercial paper for
sale,’ (and) we say ‘what's the rate?'"*

“Without interest we would have lost
$200,000" in the 1983-84 year, Zahm said.
UAS made $187,154 from its investments
last year.

“1 think it’s important for people to
know that the $184,000, or whatever the
net income is, stays on the campus,” he
said.

In addition to the Long Range Planning
Fund, Zahm explained, UAS also spent
$47,000 on programming last year.

Quad Ambulance’s new garage, Com-
fnencement, and the Purple and God ser

being funded this year,

UAS does not budget to break perfectly

for various plant projects, such as
remodeling cafeterias, As ‘'a strictly break

Quad cafe next summer, He men-
tioned Colonial has the oldest cafeteria,
but wouldn't say which quad was to be
done next or when the overhaul would be
made.

This year’s 7.3 percent board hike was
necessary despite last year's surplus, Zahm
said, because the university has six more
days of classes scheduled this year, and
because of increased energy costs

Labor, food, and operating costs of the
quad cafeterias requires, he said, ‘an
enormous amount of money--you've got
7,000 people that are going to eat’? at least
one meal a day,

UAS also had 10 pay $85,000 more in
budgeted utility costs for the quads and the
Kumquat cafeteria last year, and that
figure will be larger this year, Zahm said,

The State Department of Budget, he ex-
plained, requires UAS to pay a certain
amount for utility costs over the basic utili-
ty charge. Qo

Budget blamed for widening student-faculty gap

By Rick Swanson
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

While student enrollment shows no
of decreasing at SUNYA, the faculty size
has been shrinking in comparison, pro-
viding a widening gap in the student to
faculty ratio.

Acting President Judith Ramaley of-
fered little hope for immediate improve-
ment, asserting, ‘there probably will be
very few positions available to the SUNYA
system, because of budget limitations.””

In SUNYA's budget request for
1985-86, an additional thirty nine Full
Time Equivalent (FTE) instructional facul-
ty positions are requested, as well as seven-
teen positions for support staff.

The budget request has been made part
of the entire 1985-86 SUNY, budget pro-
posal, which has been sent to Governor
Mario Cuomo for revision and inclusion in
his state budget. The legislature will review
the Cuomo budget, and must vote on it
this spring before the budget can take
effect.

“Each year we've had fewer people to
serve our students," commented Ramaley
on the declining number of faculty, adding
that if “we maintain the staffing level we
had or the number of students declined
somewhat, we could have a more
favorable ratio."

The student to faculty ratio has increas-
ed from 15.5 to 1 in 1973-74 to 19.2 to 1 in
1984-85, with the undergraduate student to
faculty ratio now at over 25 to 1, according
to the President's Message in SUNYA'S
Final Budget Request.

‘The message also states that ‘tover the
past 12 years budgeted enrollment increas-
ed 14 percent while budgeted instructional
resources decreased 8 percent, creating a
net enrollment funding shortfall of 22
percent.”

According to Vice-President for Finance
and Budget Gene Gelchrust, ‘an addi-
tional 39 FTE instructional faculty would
take us to an 18 to 1 student to faculty
ratio, which is in progress."

‘The request for 39 FTE instructional
faculty included five additional positions
in the Computer Science department,
Rockefeller College and the Humanities
and Fine Arts departments; two in the
Economics, Business, Psychology,
Sociology, Communications, Performing
Aris and Education departments; one in
both the Geography and History
departments.

“1 don't know how well likely it is we
will be getting any of these positions," said
Ramaley, adding that the SUNY system is
“but one of many competitors for state
funds.””

In the SUNY budget request, Ramaley
said, “We (SUNYA) are not losing any
more money." The budget must be revised
and passed by the legislature by April 1,

Ramaley noted that no loss in state
jeans we will have a good budget
this year,”

According to the SUNYA budget re-
quest for the fall of 1983, Albany was the
only one of the state's university centers (0
meet its enrollment goals at both the
graduate and undergraduate levels.

SUNYA Director of Planning Patrick
Terenzini said that SUNYA met its goals
by having a total of 15,833 students enroll,
including 11,321 undergraduates and 4,512
graduate students,

To maintain its enrollment goals, the
university, according to the President's

‘Message, must enroll 2,000 freshmen an-

nually “without lessening our own
rigorous admission standards."

SUNYA Director of Admissions
Rodney Hart said these standards include
a high school grade point average of 89.4

Student checking the ‘holds’ list

Some students do not discover they are on the holds list until they try (0 pre-register.

Baffling holds slow pre-registration

By lan Clements

Students attempting to pre-register for the Spring
semester may find more problems than just being closed
out of courses they want to take.

Some students have been mistakenly placed on the Stu-
dent Accounts ‘holds’? list this semester, preventing
them from registering. In order to pre-register for classes
these students must obtain a ‘‘release"* form from the Of-
fice of Student Accounts. This usually entails waiting on
line for approximately 30 minutes.

Director of Student Accounts Lia Catalano said she
doesn't know how widespread the problem is, but she is
trying to find out how it developed and how it can be
solved.

‘Some studens have not discovered they are on the holds
list until they try to pre-register and are told they cannot
because of the hold.

Usually, a hold on records indicates that a student owes
money to the University

Steve Stavrides, a junior from Dutch Quad said he had
to wait on line at the Billing and Acocunts window in the
Business Administration basement for 45 minutes after
discovering at pre-registration that he was put on the
holds list without justification.

““Lhope I get the classes I want,"” he said, as he walked
back to Colonial Quad to pre-register.

The problem is not caused by a delay in removing holds
after students have paid their bills, said Catalano. ‘Peo-
ple go over to Colonial Quad and pull holds every morn-
ing,” from the list of students on hold, she said.

‘A new computer system being used by Student Ac-
counts might be the cause of the problem, she said. The
system has caused a “great improvement"” in services, she
said, but ‘‘new systems also have problems."

Catalano said she is searching for a pattern among
students who have had holds erroneously placed on their
records in order to see how the problem developed.

The University does not place records on hold if a
students federal or state financial aid funds are not reciev-

ed on time, according to Director of Financial Aid
Donald Whitlock. "When there is an assurance that aid is
coming," he said, ‘there is generally no problem with
holds."

University Auxilliary Services (UAS) is not the source
of the problem either, asserted Assistant to the Director
of Foad Service Teddy Cornell.

“We do not do any billing," Cornell said, ‘all students
are billed through Student Accounts." Students do not
pay UAS directly for their meal plans, she explained, On-
ly those people who purchase temporary meal plans, such
as teachers or visiting scholars, send their payment
straight to UAS, Cornell added.

Students who are unaware that they have a hold often
discover the problem when they attempt to obtain a
permit-to-register card at Colonial Quad.

‘According {0 two women who have dispensed the cards
for ‘‘a few years,"" the number of students discovering
they have holds at the permit-to-register table has not
been unusually high this semester.

Gary Kaplan, a senior, said all his bills were paid but he
checked the holds list anyway. After finding his 1.D.
number on the list, he he waited on the line for
about 45 minutes so he could get a release.

The worker at the Billing and Accounts window “at
first tried to say it was my mistake but I said, ‘it’s your

Robert L. Hoffman, 47, an associate professor of
History, recalled by many for his innovative approach
to teaching and his sincere concern for peace, died
Wednesday, November 7 after he was stricken by a
heart attack on the podium.

‘A memorial service will be held on Saturday,
November 17 at 2pm at the Westminster Presbyterian
Church at 262 State Street.

Hoffman collapsed Wednesday, at about 1:25pm
while walking on the podium by the Humanities
building on his way to teach class, He was spotted by
two people who both called SUNYA’s 5-Quad
Volunteer Ambulance service.

Director of operations of 5-Quad, Ari Fisher said,

Rumors that it took $-Quad almost 25 minutes to ar-

Election:tallies: show =
SUNYA students did
not vote party lines

By Tom Bergen
STAFF WRITER

While voting statistics seem to show a general trend
towards conservatism among college-age voters, SUNYA
students voting at polling places for on-campus residents
supported Democratic candidates by large margins in last
‘Tuesday's elections according to results provided by poll-
ing place officials

These vote totals suggest that many
of the SUNYA voters who did cast
ballots for the local elections split their
yote among the two major political
parties.

Presidential Candidate Walter Mon-
dale's total SUNYA vote of 1524 was
not equalled by any of the local Democratic candidates
Stratton, with 1,396 votes, received the most SUNYA
votes of any local Democrat.

Except for the presidential race, the spread between the
winning Democratic candidates, who swept the local

, and the losing Republicans was smaller at SUNYA
voting districts than in Albany County as a whole,

According to a New York Times-CBS News poll
published in the Times on November 8, 61 percent of the
nation's men, 18-29 years old, supported Ronald Reagan,
whil 37 percent favored Walter Mondale, Fifty-five per-
cent of the nation’s women in the same age group sup-
ported the President, while 45 percent backed Mondale.

In the 1980 presidential election, men 18 10 29 ycars old
supported Reagan over Carter 47 to 39 percent, while 11
percent supported independent John Anderson. In that
same year, women aged 18 to 29 supported Carter over
Reagan 49-39 percent, with Anderson receiving 10
percent

In this year's presidential race SUNYA voters sup-
ported Mondale by a greater margin than voters in
Albany County asa whole, At the student polling places,
which include voting booths at the Gym, the Thruway
House, St, Margaret Mary's Church, and State Quad,
Mondale got 58 percent of the vote, but he received only
51.2 percent of the total vote in Albany County.

Reagan won 42 percent of SUNYA votes, as compared
to 48,7 percent for Albany County as a whole,

‘The extra margin of support which Mondale received in
the presidential race was reversed in the local races,
Although all the Republican candidates lost at SUNYA,
they recieved a higher proportion of votes on campus
than they did in the Albany County ra

In the 23rd Congressional District, which encompasses
Albany County, incumbent Stratton won 77,8 percent of
all votes cast, while Republican Challenger Richard
Wicks received 22.1 percent.

At SUNYA polling places, however, Stratton won with
only 70,5 percent of the vote, a 7.3 percent drop, while
Wicks scored 29.5 percent, a gain of 7.4 percent,

Democratic State Senator Howard Nolan won re-
electoin in Albany with 64.3 percent of the vote. His op-
ponent, Republican Joseph Frangella, pulled in 35.6 per-
cent of all votes cast in the race,

The difference of 28.7 percent in the district as a whole
closes to 14.9 percent when SUNYA voting is considered
alone, showing greater support for the Republican among
SUNYA students than in the district as a whole.

The area Assembly race showed similar trends.
Democratic incumbent Richard J. Conners pulled in 76.5
percent of votes in the entire contest, but won only 70,7
percent of SUNYA votes.

Conners’ opponent, Republican Paul Silverstein,
received 23.4 percent of votes cast in.the race, but won
29.3 percent of the votes cast at SUNYA polling places
for on-campus students.

Many SUNYA voters apparently chose not to vote in
the local races. A total of 2,624 votes were counted in the
presidential race, while the highest total for a local rave
‘was 2,069 votes in the Nolan-Frangella contest. G

Determined dancers raise $6,000

By Christopher Blomquist

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Dancing bodies, bruised and blistered feet, and sweat, helped raise approximately
$6,000 for Telethon ’8S's 24-hour Dance Marathon held Friday night, according (o Eric
Dorf, Co-Chair of Telethon "85.

Dorf said, ‘I think it went very well” and praised all who were involved in the event;
including dancers, sponsors, DJ's, VJ's, and staff, He said ‘47 couples or so’ par-
ticipated, half of which danced the entire 24-hour period.

Although there were about three couples fewer participating this year than last, Dorf
said they outdid last year's dancers in enthusiasm and energy, and kept up with them
financially by raiding about the same amount of money.

“*A lot more dancers lasted this year than last year"” he stated, noting that by the end
of the marathon almost half the couples were still dancing. No couple was required to
dance the full 24 hours.

According to Dorf, approximately 80 percent of last year's sponsors’ pledges came in,
a figure he expects to match, or improve, this year. “We had a lot of large pledges,"” he
said, ‘and we're offering some great prizes."” In order to claim thier prize, couples have
to collect and turn in their pledged dollars. Prizes offered included a television, tickets to
‘WCDB's Rock Night, and an album from SUNYtunes.

The marathon, held in the Campus Center Ballroom, began with a four hour video
show provided by Party Master Videos, “They did a great show" complimented Dorf
who said that because the videos opened the marathon, the dancers were “far more
energetic’” during this portion of the event.

After the videos ended, Dorf said WCDB DJ's took over and provided ‘‘upbeat music
that kept the dancers going into the morning hours.’? Participating DJ's included Hlan
Nissan, Adam Fass, Miranda Alfonso, and Phil Chonigman, said Dorf.

Last year's marathon ws the first one where gay and lesbian couples entered. Dorf said
he wasn't sureif any homosexual couples entered this year. ‘I don't know of any, but if
they did, no one thought anything of it."" He was angered that gay participation last year
‘was made such a big issue. ‘If everyone is dancing and having a good time and a gay cou

WCDB network faced many
snags in covering elections

By Robert Hanlon
STAPE WRITER

While it may not have run as smoothly
as President Rea 's reelection cam-
paign, WCDB's Election Night College
Network ( INCN) was “overall, a very
good suci * according to WCDB News
Director Phil Chonigman.

ENCN was a nationwide college radio
station network set up by SUNYA’s radio
station WCDB-91FM to provide student
oriented coverage of the elections.

According to a statement from Marc
Gronich, egordinator of the ENCN, 39
college campus radio stations in 25 states
were scheduled to telephone in reports on
their state gubernatorial, senatorial, con-
gressional, and presidential balloting, as
well as on various state propositions and
constitutional amendments.

However, the statement continues, ‘13
never called, 11 called only once, 12 sta-
tions called twice leaving more than one

ind only three stations called three

” A total of 80 reports were filed

throughout the evening's coverage, which

ran from 8:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., according
to Gronich.

The calls were taken in the Student
Association offices in the Campus Center.

Speculating as to why 13 stations did not
zall in, Chonigman said, “There could be
several reasons,"” including technical pro-
blems at some of the stations, a mix-up in
communications between WCDB and the
other stations, and “an enthusiastic ‘yes’
from the general manager, but not from
the news director” of as particular station,

Tim Wallace, WCDB's ‘floor
manager” for the evening, and the student
responsible for the arrangements between
the various affiliates, said that some of the
stations may have failed to call ‘because
we didn’t start "til 9:00, and they figured
nobody would be interested” since the
presidential contest had already been
decided.

Defending the decision of signing-on
after the major television networks had
already projeceted a presidential winner,
Chonigman said that the station “refused
to go on before New York State polls clos-
ed, We didn't want to have any influence””
on the outcome of local balloting.
“Nothing is gained by going on that car-
ly," he added, ‘it is the responsibility of
the media not to do those things. That's
our opinion.”

Another problem ENCN faced was the
failure of one of the cassettes used to col-
lect reports phoned in by affiliates. ‘The
equipment on one of the phone lines broke
down during the first hour of network
operation, but our technician was right
there fixing it immediately. The machine
was down for about 25 minutes,"’ accor-
ding to Gronich.

‘Chonigman said that ‘‘one of the casset-
tes from the ECC(Educational Com-
munications Center) failed.’ One of the
four ECC cassettes did not work at all
from the beginning of the evening, and
then another failed in the first hour, he
said. ‘We were left with one recorder
short for our phone lines,” until it was
repaired he added.

“Every report brought in on that
recorder was just garbled mess,’ Wallace
said.

Despite problems which can plague all
group operations, Wallace said, the ENCN
achieved a substasntial amount of success
compared with a similiar effort four years
ago,

According to Wallace, a check on the
election night efforts in 1980 showed that
15 stations participated that year including
the stations that didn’t call, “We doubled
the effort from 1980,"" sasid Wallace.
Chonigman added that the network ‘was
larger than 1980 — and the landslide was
bigger, too.””

There was a strategy to the network
beyond coverage of the presidential con-

Curtis claims news media distorts Irish conflict

By Christine Reffelt
STAFF WRI

Aadicaints crowd of about 50
people Tuesday, November 6,
author Liz Curtis spoke forcefully
about the British media's ap-
proach to northern Ireland,

“Anti-Irish sentiment in
England is widespread," Curtis
said, due largely to what she term-
ed ‘Media distortion’”

The British Government ‘‘cen-
sors without seeming to censor’?
all events in Northern Ireland, she
charged.

British troops have occupied
Northern Ireland, which is under
British rule, to stop Catholic-
Protestant riots which had broken
out,

Since that time, many civilians,
a majority of which have been
Catholics, have died at the hands
of police, riot forces, and British
soldiers. For several years Britain
also imprisoned but never charg-
ed men and women suspected of
pro Irish Republican Army (IRA)

viies, The IRA is tending the
civil war against the British,

“The British journalists are
biased"’ Curtis stressed, adding
that they “sell their biased views
to the United-States and other

" British stringers and
free-lance journalists are largely
loyalists to the British Gor
ment and they all cover the
tion in Ireland, printing'*only

at they want to print'’ Curtis

Explaining that U.S. news
reports come largely from English
sources, Curtis said that
‘American reporters write up the
event ‘the way the British news

ency said it happened."

U.S, readers tend to''get news
from only the biased British point
of view," or else only through
special broadcasts, such as To Die
for Irelandwhich aired in the U.S.
last year after an IRA hunger
strike. An American crew was
sent to research material
themselves,

Only on these infrequent occa-
sions does ‘the U.S. get their
‘own point of view on issues,"" she
asserted,

British television coverage dif-
fers substantially from American
coverage, she said. The word
“guerilla” used to describe a
member of the IRA, would be
“inconceivable in Great  Bri-
tain,.,Such words do not exist in
Media there’’ Curtis said

English citizens are taught
practically nothing about the
siustion in Ireland, Curtis said.

‘As far as the British educators
are concerned, Ireland simply
doesn't exist"’ she maintained.

The viewers are uneducated
about Irish politics, and thus
“believe only what they want to
believe,"" she said, British Media
has a ‘virtual monopoly in in-
fluencing what people believe"
she added,

When Irish unrest was aired on

The Government plays a very
influential role in “what gets air
time and what doesn’t” she said,

Only journalists with establish
ed positions get to cover major
controversial issues in Great Bri
tain, Curtis said, adding that the
Government is ‘so in
timidating,"” most controversy
never surfaces.

Out of every 20 events which
should be covered regarding the
situation in Ireland, she said,
“only one actually gets produced
and aired,"

It is much easier for the majori
ty of English journalists to give
up on Irish coverage, she stated!
Those journalists who defy th
system “often find themselves ou

“The British Press have nv
pretentions at getting to the

Ferraro’s campaign seen
as women’s breakthrough

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Although Geraldine Ferraro
didn’t triumph this past Election
Day, many political observers say
the promise her vice presidenti
didacy held for Ameri
women hasn't died

Her campaign represented to
many ovservers not just a
breakthrough for women ir
politics, but for all women, of all
ages, races and politica!
persuasions,

“This is irreversible progress,”
said Jugy Goldsmith, president of
the National Organization for
Women, which made a strong
push for Mondale to choose a
woman running mate, ‘The door
is open and can't be closed
agai

Women see Ms. Ferraro as a
catalyst for increased political
power, said Kathy Wilson, a
Republican and president of the
National Women’s Political
Caucus, which endorsed
Mondale.

“Up until Ferraro was on the
ticket, raising the consciousness
for women candidates was a state-
by-state enterprise," she said.
“What Ferraro’s candidacy does
is speed up the process by 10
years."

‘Ann Richards, state treasurer
in Texas, said that besides helping
the Democratic Party raise money
and organize women never in-
volved in politics before, Ms. Fer-
faro’s candidacy has given
women a new sense of

“There's no measurement tool
to show how the Gerry Ferraros
and astronaut Sally Ride will
directly affect women," Richards
said. “And I've been delighted
with the enthusiasm with which
many men have greeted her can-

“And that men have said she is

In the end, 49-year-old New
York congresswoman, a daughter
of Italian immigrants, was judged
not just by the tradition:
political measure of balancing the
ticket,but also by whether she was
capable of doing what has always
been a man’s job, Celeste said

“I's a shameful situation that
the question could be raised
whether a woman could be com
mander in chief," Celeste said in
a telephone interview. “I think by
her conduct in this campaign, she
has more than answered that
question."

Others said they think it was
important that the first woman to
Tun on a major party ticket was a
working woman with a husband
and children, and not a for-
midable figure with whom few
women can identify.

“It was important that she be
like so many of us," said Carol

“You don't want a candidate
who is so far beyond what other
women can aspire to.

The American Cancer Society
and SUNYA’s Tau Kappa Ep-

working together to make air,
ashtrays, and lungs cleaner in this
this Thursday's annual Great
‘American Smokeout.

Several activities are planned
for the smokeout, a day where
smokers ‘kick the habit" for at
least 24 hours, possibly giving
themselves the motivation to quit
permanently.

According to TKE President
Barry Pollack, smokers can

He said he hopes that par-
ticipaton in the event will increase
the social fraternity’s popularity
and ‘make it a bigger part of

Nationally, the 8th Annual
Smokeout will be ‘‘celebrated"”
with parades, marathons, and
contests in shopping malls and
downtown areas. Common prizes
will be frozen Thanksgiving
turkeys to remind smokers that
quiting ‘cold turkey’! can
sometimes be the most effective
method,

Other offerings will include
hotlines with advice from
psychiatrists and celebrities and
anti-smoking variety shows on
PBS,

‘According to the American
Cancer Society, more than one
out of every three U.S. smokers
(35.6 percent) participated in last
year's smokeout, 8.1 percent did
not smoke at all on the day and
4,1 percent reported that they
were still not smoking up to 11

Cigarette smoking, which has
been determined to cause lung

McCann elected vice chair;
‘nuclear free zone’ passed

By Leslie Chait
STAPF WRITER

Colonial Quad representative Bill Mc-
Cann was elected vice-chair of Central
Council Wednesday evening after five
hours of debate, and numerous votes that
occurred over a two week span.

Council also approved a motion calling
for SUNYA to be a
“nuclear free zone."*

"The vice, chair elections Central
were tabled a week ago Council
after Council spent four
hours debating various can-
didates and no candidate received the
necessary two-thirds of council's support
to be elected.

Former Council Vice Chair Sal
Peredona resigned several weeks ago.

‘At this past meeting, McCann, who rar.
for SA president last spring, opposed
Elizabeth Chesnut and Amy Koren for
the vice chair position, According. to
Council Chair Mitch Feig, McCann had
wanted to run at the original meeting, but
couldn't attend because of illness. “Since
no one ws elected, he (McCann) decided to
run this week," Feig said.

According to Feig, Koren seemed, at
first, to have the necessary votes, but "It
wasn’t getting anywhere. .everyone ws be-
ing nominated, but no one ws getting
thenecessary two thirds vote."”

Koren withdrew from the race after she
admitted she was considering spending
next semester studying in Israel, Feig said.

to decide, Feig said, who they thought
would be better as vice chair, not who they

Aspects on Tuesday 11

Fripp And Summers A Pewitching Pair

he second collaborative effort by
Andy Summers and Robert
Fripp,Bewitched, is once again a
combination of two very different ap-
proaches to the guitar and its relationship
to the music.

Chris K. Hayes

What the textured approach refers to is
‘Summer's use of the guitar, much the same
way a painter uses color; varying shades
and combining them to create an overall
effect. Summers is from the new school of
guitar that doesn’t use the guitar in the con-
ventional sense of lead/thythm but as a
tool to alter and shape the sound. People
like Adrian Belew, Steve Stevens and The
Edge — along with other new bands —- are
applying this technique with fantastic
results,

The opposite approach would define
Fripp’s style — the approach towards
guitar asa lead/rhythm instrument, But
Fripp is not a typical guitarist in any sense
of the word. His approach may be textural
to some degree, but overall his function is
that of a guitarist who plays the guitar with
sgreat respect for time and theory.

At present both are on hiatus from their
full-time positions, Summers with the
Police and Fripp with King Crimson.

An interesting parallel exists beween
‘Summers and Belew, the other guitarist for
King Crimson. Both guitarists are from the
new school, and although Fripp seems to
be in control of both FrippSummers and
King Crimson, there is enough room for
the two to play because of the diversity in
style,

Fripp seems to work his best_ when
paired with a guitarist of a contrasting ap-
proach to the instument. In fact, the reason
Summers gives for playing with Fripp on
these albums is that he feels that he brings
out the best in Fripp and that Fripp brings
out the best in him.

The album is also a work of contrast

Side one consists of three songs, each with

ulian Lennon Comes Of Age

ulian Lennon has released his first

J album, Valotte, Many of you may

have been aware of John Lennon's

son by his first marriage and of his inclina

tion towards things musical, but Valotte is

ihe first encounter virtually anyone has

had with the 21-yearold’s music, How
does it sound?

Corey Levitan

The first time J heard Julian’s voice was
cerie experience. Valotte’s title track
me on the radio and I couldn't believe
my ears. It was John Lennon to the tee! My
initial reaction was disgust. | thought that
Julian's genetic predisposition allowed him
to do the best John Lennon impression the
world has ever heard, and was doing just
this with his music, Later } heard another
Valottetune entitled “Too Late For Good:
byes” which reinforced my opinion, This
song and the title track sounded like long-
lost songs from Double Fantasy and Mind
Games, respectively.

Then | discovered from a television in-
terview that Julian's speaking voice hap-
pens to be identical to his father's, which is
a pretty hard thing to fake. | decided to
listen again to the tracks | taped from the
radio and I realized that Julian isn’t doing
an impression of his father at all. His
natural voice just sounds very similar to
John’s.

Having gotten beyond that initial pre-
judice, I also discovered that although. the
musical styles of the two artists are similar,
Julian’s music is just that, Julian’s music, In
fact, Valotte sounds more like early Billy
Joe! material than John Lennon music. This
isn’t just an arbitrary analogy. Joel's pro:
ducer Phil Ramone produced Valotte and
his influence, especially in a song called

an upbeat rhythm and a structured design
Sign two is less structured and more intent
on creating a moodit is as if they take you
through seven different dreams.

Side one is powerful. It opens with
Parade’ which builds on a simple rhythm
and is relatively light compared with the
rest of the album. But as an introduction it
serves its purpose well

The second song, ‘What Kind Of Man
Reads Playboy,’ is excellent; it gives up
both of the players in top form. The song
consists of three main phrases which alter-
nate along with great bass lines and some
fantastic drum machine programming,

The real pointsof-interest of this song
are the solos, the first from Summers and

Lot Me Be," may have been substantial

Unfortunately, due to the similarity in
the Lennon voices and since there is no
Julian Lennon music to compare Valotte's
material with, it's too easy for the listener
to fall into the trap into which | initially
fell, I'm sure many critics will compare
Julian’s music to John's . | do not think it's
fair to judge the work of a guy fresh out of
adolescence against that of one of the most
creative and influential musical geniuses of
our time and J will proceed to judge this
album in its own right

Valotte, recorded in Alabama and New
York and named after a chateau in France
where the songs were written, features a
cast of largely unknown musicians, with
the exception of former Wings drummer
Steve Holley, Julian is mostly at home on
the keyboards and drums. His voice is frail
and doesn’t have a particularly impressive
range, but extensive use of rich harmonies
compensates enormously for this,

As for Julian's writing ability, i's worth
noting that he either wrote or had a hand
in writing every single song on the album,
This is an impressive feat, since although
the ten compositions are structually simple,
utilizing familiar chord progressions, each

feresting in its own way,

The title track also the album's first
single, is a mellow piece which involves
four engaging melodies, The synthesis of
these melodies comes off weaker than its
individual parts though, as they don’t flow
naturally into each other and the effect is
confusing. Lyrically, ““Valotte" is un-
creative. Julian starts three of his stanzas by
sitting on a doorstep’, ‘sitting on a pedal by
the river’ and ‘sitting in the valley’. Doesn't
this guy’s ass ever get sore? At alittle over
four minutes in length, the song drags as
well. it wouldn't have been my choice for

the second from Fripp. Summers isn’t
known for his solo playing, so when he
does he plays very carefully, avoiding the
excesses thal some lead guitar players in-
dulge in. As Summers’ solo fades out,
Fripp’s comes crashing in. The solo is pure

pp. It weaves in and out of the song and
ends with a long, dropping growl.

The last song on side one is ‘Begin The
Day.’ It begins with loud, controlled feed
back as the band kicks into the quickest
song on the album, The song is held down

nmers_using his trademark long,

ing chords and Fripp's wailing solos

The underlying rhythm is complex and

works with the guitar playing to create the
most powerful song on the album:

Valotte’s first single.

A better candidate would have been the
reggae-flavored "Too Late for Goodbyes,
This upbeal, light tune is the most obvious
pop song on Valolte and will surely be a
hit. The lyrics on this one are rudimentary
("Ever since you've been far away, I've
been wanting to fly. Now I know what
you meant to me. I'm the one who should
cry") but they perfectly accentuate the
perky melody, A cameo harmonica solo
from Toots Thielemans repeats the vocal
line exactly and would seem disappointing
in almost any song imaginable, save for
this one.

Another winner is the bluesy “On The
Phone." The melody is hooky and hits
home with a devastating punch on the
refrain. I’s probably not hit material but
it's very powerful

The sleeper on Valotte is a song called
“Say You're Wrong,” a busy, sort of ‘Four
Seasons melody meets Genesis arrange
ment’ rock song. The melody, fortified by
pungent horn and guitar sections, is ab-
solutely infectious, | haven't heard "Say
You're Wrong" on the radio yet but I think
it's the best song on Valotte. You have to
hear this one.

‘Well | Don't Know’ is the most lyrical:
ly provocative song on Valotte: "Look up
as | lie in bed, feeling the presence of the
dead,..Are you a part of my family
tree?...There’s something I've got to ask, Is
there life after death for me" It's pretty ob-
vious to whom Jules is speaking here. The
song never picks up though it is victim of a
boring melody.

The funky OK for you, is well, OK,
Julian’s shouting vocal sounds great and the
music sounds a little like The Who's
“Eminence Front," but the song's jazzy

The second song on side two is ‘Bewitch-
ed,’ This song opens with Summers pla, 1%
harmonics while Fripp, with the guitar 5)
thesizer, brings the melody through #

use vocals-although they are so faint they
seem to just follow the melody.

The third song is Tribe,’ Tribe’ sounds
remarkably like a combination of songs
from the King Crimson album Discipline. It
is an interesting song that {s played well,
but if you like this | would recommend
picking up a copy of ‘Discipline.’

Next on the album is ‘Maquillage.’ This
fs the most beatiful song on the album.
Fripp supplies the main theme and Sum-
mers (on acoustic guitar) lends the song an
etheral sound as he brings the melody to its.
all too soon conclusion.

The fifth the song is ‘Guide,’ which has
guitar following guitar, Fripp is known for
his use of delay, the process of repeating a
phrase according to predetermined inter-
vals. This song features Fripp using delay
to accompany himself; to create the effect
of two guitars playing at once, The result
of this is fascinating.

A criticism of this album might be that
the songs have a tendency to sound too
similar, This is most evident on the second
side, especially ‘Train,’ ‘Forgotten Steps,’
and ‘Image and Likeness,’ The second side
also has the potential for boredom. ! would

No snow job

winter drawing closer and closer, As in-
evitable as these first snows are the first versions
Of next year’s SUNY budget.

Just as it’s time to start bundling up, it’s time to
start Preparing for the budgetary battles that
await when the winter snows begin to melt.

The proposed budget that SUNY is sending on
to Governor Cuomo and the legislature for ap-
Proval is one worth fighting for. Not only does it
call for no tuition hike, it includes improvements
for this campus that are long overdue:

» the addition of 39 full-time faculty positions, as
well as 17 positions for Support staff. This would
help reverse the declining ratio of faculty to
students (discussed in today’s Page one story), im-
Proving the quality of our education.

> th steps in constructing a fieldhouse and

in’85
more student housing. For years our administra-
tion has been trying to get the funds to upgrade
the athletic facilities here, which are not up to par
for a major university. We can only hope that this
year the state answers our call,

As for housing: With enforcement of the
‘grouper law’ and conditions in the student ghetto
becoming an explosive issue on campus, there’s
no two ways about it: we need more housing.

Next summer about 1,000 students will find
themselves without a home due to the law, and
conditions on campus are already overcrowded. If
the state doesn’t come through with money for
more housing, there's no telling what kind of mess
the administration will have on its hands in the
next few years,

» improvements to the computer facilities. As
those who have waited and waited in the LC halls,
or have gotten up at 7:00 a.m. to be the first on

line, know, there’s never enough.

The proposed budget addresses two Urgent stu.
dent concerns: keeping rates down and keeping
quality up. But it is only a proposal, :

The budget can be completely revised by
Cuomo in January, and then again by th,
legislature, until the governor finally Signs it in the
spring.

One of Cuomo’s campaign promises two years
ago was to insure for us a “low-cost, high-quality
education.”’ In the budgets he created in 1983 and
‘84 there were substantial rate hikes and/or
vice cuts.

No matter how wonderful the picture looks
Now, there are no guarantees that more hikes and
cuts won't be waiting for us in January.

So when spring rolls around, and the last few
flurries brush the podium, let's make sure we're
not the victims of a legislative snow job,

Taking Prosperity for granted

Now that election time has rolled around agai

gain, all of a
sudden it seems to have become more fashionable to talk
about this country, especially in terms of its relationship
to the rest of the world, The issues the people and the
government {ses however, go far beyond the miniscule
four year term of a presidency. They are the culmi
of 208 years of history, Z Seon

[Jim Fulton oa

This county is now out of synch with the re

world, and the rift between the realty of what we acy

tion are facing and the perception we have of what we are

facing is growing increasingly wide. This country has an
immense supply of natural resources, of gcographical
area, of educational opportunities, of consumer goods,

Of information and of material wealth.

We are an exception to the rules to which most other
countries oblige. We have never been invaded, and not
since the Civil War (a very sobering event) has our coun.
try suffered the horrors a war brings, We haven't knows
the limits our country has (and it does have them) for sup.
Porting its voracious appetites, Except as the result of
pitiful economic circumstance, this country has net
known starvation, Starvation, that is, in the ultimate
Senser that we literally don’t have the physical capability
of feeding our people. Many of our people have never
known oppression. Many have, of course, and it has pro
foundly altered their impressions of what this country
stands for. These would be trite points to make were)
Not for the ways in which this heritage, or lack of it, af.
fects our perception of the rest of the world,

Our country’s prosperity acts as an anesthetic. We

watch television and can actually believe the concocted
dramas and inflated lifestyles we see, We can go into the
store and buy the things advertised on television, or at
least see that they do indeed exist, if nothing else, as a
Source of inspiration and as symbols of things to aspire
to, We can watch people starving, of being shot, or read
about people being oppressed and denied fundamental
freedoms we take so much for granted, but we have the
privilege of watching in a very detached fashion. We are
divorced from these, things — they are foreign to ws,

Let me pause for a moment and make my purpose
clear. In saying we: take the freedoms we have for
ranted, I don't mean that we don’t use them or don't ap.
Preciate them, Indeed we do, I am not writing this to
argue the evils of a capitalist system, but only to illustrate
the ways in which we live affect our perception of the rest
Of the world. 1 am not here to argue we should repent for
our wealth, and give everything we have to somebody
else. We shouldn't. But we should perceive what we have
much differently than we do.

We are all citizens of a world community, and should
See our co-inhabitants in that light, As a result of the way
we live, however, we see others out of gilded monocular
“Our way is the best way'* our leaders claim, I would res.
pond, "Yes, but that is only because of the way the dice
fell, We happened to buck into this huge piece of Real
Estate, which just happens to be rich in many things, and
thus allows us to be immune to the forces that play so
heavily on other countries of the world.”"

How are we to be truly sympathetic to the things we
have never known? This is a question itis time we gave

much deliberated thought to, especially when considering
the ways our leaders may responde to it. Are they merely

playing out the role we set for them, confirmii

something fundamentally wrong. I would argue precise-
ly the opposite: that there is Something fundamentally
right, just something we have never known before. The
way Our government reacts to these things is very impor,

mode of thinking, which has been molded by the intense
Prosperity discussed above, on that country and make
things “right” — again by our standards. We can't (nor
can the Russians Or anyone else) continue to do this for
long, as it is a false order we are imposing. We and others
must realize this and take steps to correct it, i

We also must realize this doesn't involve merely a

‘Look beyond West

© To the Editor:
~ It is with painful amusement to read in W. Scott
"Thompson's book, The Third World, that: The Third

industrialized West — mostly living under a system of

that the majority of the so-called Third World countries
are wholly or mainly non-white. This fact introduces a
strong racial overtone to the picture.

The arrogance of Western society and leadership is

Refreshing experience

To the Editor:
‘The SUNY A Big BrotherBig Sister Program would like
to extend its heartfelt thanks to a group of very special in-
dividuals. On Saturday, Oct. 27, we were treated to a
wonderful Halloween by the Tusc-Seneca residence staff
on Indian Quad. Residence Director Pam Sylakowski and
RAs Gil Meyer, Neal Moskow, Beth Stevens, and Aileen
Brown put together for our children and counselors a par-
ty loaded with food, decorations, games, prizes and ex-
itement. They also arranged for us to finish our day with
or-treating through the dormitories on Indian
Quad. We would also like to thank Indian Quad Board
which donated $150 for the party and our parent
organization, Big BrotherBig Sister of Albany County,
Inc. which donated an additional $25, Thanks also go to
all the suites that volunteered to give out candy to the
trick-or-treaters,

In these troubled days when people often find little
time for others, it is refreshing to find.a group of in-
dividuals who will take the time to do something special
for others. And there are fifty college students and fifty
children who will never forget it.

Helping ourselves

To the Editor:

The recent coverage of the problems of off-campus
students has heightened both student awareness and con-
cern of the so-called "‘anti-grouper" law which prohibits
more than three, unrelated people from living in an apart-
ment, In an effort to alleviate these concerns, the Univer-
sity's Off-Campus Housing Office, the Student Associa-
tion, and the Off-Campus Association (OCA), have been
working with the City of Albany to find a solution to the
problem of over-crowded student housing.

Before any real solutions can be found, we must learn
the extent of the housing “squeeze” in the City. On
November 13 and 14, the Off-Campus Housing Office
will be conducting a survey of off-campus student hous-
ing. This will be a one-page, anonymous questionnaire
designed to determine the number of students living in
Violation of the law, as well as other problems of off-
campus students, We would like to encourage every stu-
dent who rides the bus home to fill out this survey and
return it to your bus driver. The results of this survey will
be kept for use by the University only. We need to know
“how" you live — please help by filling out the

questionnaire,

Hockey is here

To the Editor:

During the past weekend of Nov. 2nd and 3rd, Albany
State hosted the first annual Albany State Invitational Ice
Hockey Tournament, This tournament was highlighted
by sparkling plays, exciting moments, and a great overall
team effort. All these:key ingredients added up to, not
only games that were fun to watch, but games in which
the skating Danes showed both heart and desire that led
to the bringing home of the tournament trophy,

All the great playing aside, and we were very proud of
our team incidentally, we must congratulate all the
dedicated and inspired fans that came down to cheer their
team on, It’s one thing to play a tough opponent, but it's
yel another thing to play that tough opponent with the aid
of an extra player. The element we refer to was the over
200 extremely vocal and vivaciously energetic and sup-
portive fans. There’s no comparable feeling to playing in
front of a packed home team crowd. We want to thank all
those who showed to root for us, let them know they're
appreciated, and that we look forward to seeing them and
others at our future games, (Dec. 8 — next game)

We'd also like to take this opportunity to express our
desire on behalf of the entire Ice Hockey Organization to
appeal to the Physical Education Department and the

powers that be, We feel ice hockey at SUNY Albany has

BALI pe

arrived. Presently our status is merely a club team in a

league with other club teams. Each team member also

pays substantial dues to be allowed to play on the team

and to help keep the organization functioning. It is our

intention and desire to eventually, and hopefully in the

near future, get Albany State instated as.a Division 111

team run through the gym and by the school, like any
other NCAA inter-collegiate sport on campus.

Student power

To the Editor:

On Tuesday, November 6, Election Day, students
across the state turned out to vote in massive numbers,
S.U.N.Y. Albany students were no exception as our voter
turnout reached an incredible 80 percent of those
registered, Between absentee ballots and student voters
on campus, over 5,000 Albany students cast their ballots,
This comprises a highly significant voting bloc that must
now be reckoned with.

The Albany political leaders have come to the sudden
and unsettling realization that the student vote must now
be courted instead of disenfranchised, Student leaders
now have the vital ammunition to fight for polling places
on campus. All students may now be afforded the ‘lux-
ury’ of voting in easily accessible polling areas.

Perhaps even more significantly, student issues and
concerns must now be viewed in an entirely different light
by our political leaders. It would be naive to suggest that
these leaders will now suddenly’cater to our every whim
and desire, However, it is apparent that they will now
listen, They will listen often and they will listen carefully,

It is now time that our new and significant political
clout is brought to bear on an issue that many pessimists
have claimed is unwinnable — the 21 year old drinking
age. Our beloved Govenor Cuomo is currently pushing
for a special session of the New York State Legislature
before the end of this year with the passage of the 21 year
old drinking age as one of the session's major priorities.
The letter writing and lobby campaign will be put into ac-

tion now in an effort to counter the possibility of any
legislation aimed at raising the legal drinking age, If you
are interested in helping to fight 21, there will be a brief-
ing and strategy session this Thursday night, November
15, at 6:30 p.m., in the back of the Student Association
office. (C.C. 116)

Stop the inequity
To the Editor:

The body is beautiful; both man and woman may
engage in erotic love, and depictions of such a mutual ac-
tivity should be ay lable for all to enjoy,

But does Hustler celebrate a woman's physique in one
issue cover, which displays a female disappearing into a
meat cleaver, her flesh shredded into mutillated particles,
Does Playboy realistically demonstrate a female's body
with a centerfold that unceasingly portrays woman as
helpless, passive and waiting, waiting to be possessed.
Lastly, can you recall a pornographic scene which shows
two heterosexual lovers, equally nude, mutually enjoying
one another's bodies. I can not,

It is an outrage that literature which objectifies insults
and lies about women, is sold in a campus bookstore, a
place which all SUNY students must frequent in order to
attend the university, One may choose not to view the
porn films shown on campus, One may avoid other stores
or places of entertainment off-campus, which oppress
her. However, there is no alternative to Barnes and Noble
bookstore and yet it continues to violate the freedom of
‘one half of the university population, Such an inequity

must be stopped.

provides an unconventional degree.

Karen Zabielski
The University is offering a new degree
Humanistic’ Studies that's a doctorate
t isn’t a doctorate — or at least it’s the
ite of a convential degree.
‘rench Department Chair Martin
eS, who guided the new program
ough five years of review, said the em-
asis of the doctorate is ‘‘to produce
jeralists. and comparativists — inter-
iplinary people whose interest is to
aden out and find connections between
a
It is the reverse, he said, of a Ph.D
cause ‘‘a Ph.D program is designed to
in a person to do advanced research and
ching in a precisely designed field.””
Kanes said that the program will appeal
those seeking employment in govern-
t, at museums, as well as in the private
tor.
sa tough program," Kanes
ported, saying that participants need ‘‘a
illingness to move around
cellectually ””
Kanes said that students who have
rolled in the program are diverse in thei
jofessions, interests and geographical
ckgrounds, but that all share an
fintellectual curiousity. We have a high-
pwered group of people."” He said that
bme people have B.A. degrees, others
Jso have M.A. degrees and that some
we done graduate work,
Most of the candidates are already
iployed and looking to either advance or
ange their careers, he said. ‘Some have
pecific career plans,” Kanes explained,
Wwhile others want to enhance their ability
usefulness to do their job:
‘The Doctorate in Humanistic Studies in-
prporates existing graduate level courses

fect “rearranged pieces into a new
ttern."”
The only addition, Kanes said, isa set of

Yplloquia which will serve as the core for

he new program. Professor Berel Lang, a

-w faculty member, will be teaching the
plioquia.

Kanes explained that the colloquia are
a broad ranging design to bring the fields
bgether and bring people together" and to
Kd to the discussions the varying perspec-
Wes of a topic.

The set of humanities colloquia will con-
n the history and nature of humanities.

is semester's colloquia topic is ““Sym-
ols and Symbol Systems,” Kanes said,
hich involves the theory of symbols and
facing the notion of symbols as scis.

Kanes also said that Lang is currently

organizing a Humanities Institute that will
eventually form a link with the D.A,
program.

Candidates who are accepted into the
Program are required to take courses in
two fields. The student can decide to study
in cither two Humanities related fields or a
single Humanities field with an outside
field as the second choice,

The Committee on Humanities must ap-
prove of students’ choices of fields.

According to Kanes, the two fields that
each candidate selects are an equivalent of
a major and a minor, and each student
takes graduate courses like students in any
other discipline.

Current humanities doctorate can-
didates include one person from Brazil and
one from Oregon, which Kanes said is an
indication that interest in the program has
come from across the U.S. and other coun-
tries as well.

During the development of the program,
which received final approval from Gover-
nor Mario Cuomo in August, Kanes said
‘he examined other interdisciplinary pro-
grams at schools around the country, but
said he found that most of them were ac-
tually based on traditional Ph.D
programs.

“Ideally,” he said, ‘a person will come
out of this program with the knowledge,
skills, technique, and modes of thought on
one field and be able to apply them to
another,” along with the ability to apply
humanistic values.

Margaret Gray, a candidate enrolled in
the program, is currently on a one-year
leave from her teaching job in Rotterdam,
New York, in order to pursue her work for
the degree.

Gray explained that she has always
wanted to get her doctorate and has chosen
for her two fields theater and education
with plans to either teach at the college
level or join the New York State Council
for the Arts.

“4 feel L have a lot to offer,” she sai
referring to the experience she has gained
over the years. She added that she saw the
humanities doctorate as an opportuni
for self-improvement and advancement to
a better position,

To be admitted to the program, which
secks to show candidates how to carry the
perspectives of one discipline into another,
applicants must have participated in
previous undergraduate or graduate work,

Applicants must also demonstrate profi-
ciency in a foreign language, and will be
expected to complete a one semester in-
ternship in an area related to their career
plans before receiving their degree,

IT prof Langer discusses need
or new drug introduction methods

y Arthur Stein

fhe author is a physician in Albany.
Discussing the need for new means of in-
roducing drugs into the human body, Dr.
jobert Langer, a professor of Chemical
ingineering at M.I.T. said in a campus
peech that previous methods have been
ject to too many variables within the
juman body.

Langer spoke Sunday, November 4th at

e International Tea, sponsored by SUNY

fomen’s International Committee on
New Methods of Drug Delivery.""
In the past, Langer said, variations in
rug release were approached by produc-
g complexes, coatings, suspensions,
fmulsions and compressed tablets. Unfor-
nately, these preparations are subject to
any local environmental varients.
Langer indicated that there is a great
ed for controlled and uniform release of
rugs, not subject to ph variation and
ther local factors in the human body.
Two basic systems of drug release in-
Hlude polymers and pumps for small, low
polecular weight drugs. Langer outlined
rent polymer applications which are us-
to treat glaucoma and dry eyes,
riodontal disease, birth control,

seasickness, hypertension, angina and
nausea from chemotherapy treatments for
cancer patients. Most of the polymers are
patches on the skin, while the pumps are
implanted.

Langer has also developed delivery
systems of ploymers for large molecalar
chemicals such as proteins and peptides,
including insulin and growth hormones,
which generally have very short shelf lives.
These, he said, are uniquely designed
polymers made of natural products such as
amino acids and fats. Many of these
polymers are biodegradable, as well, he
said.

The shape of the polymer has been
calculated to produce a continuous
uniform level of delivery, said Langer.
Materials such as polyanhydrides were
first used in clothing 40 years ago, but they
were abandoned and were never used in
biomedical systems,

Supplemental releases for added drug
delivery needs were accomplished, he said,
by addition of other energy forms,
cluding magnetism and ultra sound.

Dorf said that the Boys club will receive

pram, He was an expert in European in-
illectual History and he had written two
books, More Than a Trial: The Struggle
Over Captain Dreyfuss and Revolutionary
justice: The Social and Political Theory of
p.J. Proudhon, Ellinwood said.

‘One of the main facets of Hoffman's
life was his deep concern for peace and
lnon-violence, said Donald Birn, a SUNYA.
History Professor and close friend of Hof-
man's. “I can remember in the 60's he
was involved in teach-ins to stop the war,"”
said Brin. ‘‘He co-taught some courses
with me that had themes of peace and non
violence and he was a vital contributor to
the peace studies program that once ex-
isted at SUNYA."

Brin descibed Hoffman as the most
“thoughtful, considerate, and kindest’’
person he knew.

“He was always going out of his way to
take care of people,” said Brin, “and he
extended this caring to the students.””

‘A former student of Hoffman's, Maria
Briganti, said that she enjoyed his class
Trials in History because “there was so
much individual attention given. He knew
your name and he was fair,” said Briganti
“He was very intelligent and had a lot to

chart a rapid rise in coke use among col-
lege bound seniors from 1976 to 1981
“Colleges may be reaping the casualties of
this period of increased incidence,”
Johnston said. ‘*There's a lag time bet-
ween when people become involved in
coke and when they get in trouble and
wind up in a clinic. Follow-up studies show
coke use continues to rise after high
school."

“I's a recreational drug," said UC-
Davis’ Jones. ‘‘There’s a casual attitude
about it, Students use ito study instead of
amphetamines."*

Once thought harmless, cocaine is a
strong reinforcing agent, drawing people
to pursue its effects, Jones added. Along
with its euphoric high, cocaine users ex-
perience paranoia and irritability, often
feel depressed, socially isolated and unable
to deal with stress and pressure.
Physiological effects can include high
blood pressure, convulsions, and eye and
nasal problems.

ACUCLA, coke abuse ranks just behind
alcohol and marijuana use, said Bonnie
Leibowitz, UCLA health educator. “LA is
the hub of drug use in the nation and
UCLA is in the center of that,"" she ex-
plained. “Our students are from fairly
well-off families. The cost of the drug is
not so prohibitive for them."

“The New York City price of coke drop-
ped 50 percent last year," said Dr. Arnold
M. Washton, research director for
800/COCAINE National Hotline. ‘One
gram of coke costs $60 to $70. It's cheaper
than an ounce of grass."”

“The expense is getting easier for
(students) to handle in this community,”
said Duke Engel of Independence Center,

say," she added,

Jon Berkowitz, another student of Hof-
fman's, said, “He did the best he could to
motivate the debates and other class
activities,”

Hoffman was also active trying to bring
education to the community through his
work with the Capitol District's
Humanities Program, said Ellinwood.

Sung Bok Kim, chair of the History
Department, recalled Hoffman's “‘in-
satiable appetite for new ideas and new ap-
proaches,"” adding, ‘We are all sorry that
he is gone.

Hoffman’s class, Trials in History will
now be taught by several different pro-
fessors. “There is no way that we could
find a single professor who could cover all
of that material and who knew as many
aspects of history as he did," said Kim,
who added, ‘We've had an over abun-
dance of volunteers to teach his class.

Hoffman taught at SUNYA for 16
years. He earned his Ph.D. at Brandeis
University and is survived by his wife
Valerie, three children and his mother.

a Lincoln, Neb., clinic near the University
of Nebraska, ‘The prime people coming
into the clinic with problems are 19 to 30
years old.

And more are coming in, UCLA's
Linder said. ‘*The best indicator of severi-

nd escalation of the problem can be

by the number of treatment

and the number of patients they
claimed. ‘There are a lot!"

Yet “most schools don’t have real drug
abuse policies,” Washton of 800/CO-
CAINE pointed out.

At the University of Tennessee, drug
and alcohol abusers are referred to the stu-
dent counseling center, And Universtiy of
Alabama drug and alcohol abuse is handl-
ed by the student health center or the men-
tal health clinic.

Some schools refer drug abuse patients
to off-campus community resources.
Clemson students go to a county drug

contact with students from small col-
leges,"" he stressed. ‘Coke is not only
available in larger schools, but also in
remote areas you wouldn't suspect, like
Wyoming, South Dakota and Alaska."*
The University of Wyoming has no
specific drug counseling program and at
Boise State University in Idaho, counselors
admit to knowledge of campus drug abuse
but say students are reluctant to bring drug
problems to the counseling center.
“Unless these colleges prepare to handle
student drug abuse, they'll be caught off-
juard by unpleasant incidents,"* cautioned
Washton. “At stake is the health and
welfare of our nation’s future."” Qa

test, said Chonigman. ‘Most of the
members (of the ENCN) were in the Nor-
theast,”’ he said, adding, ‘better than one-
third were."? He explained that ENCN
“wanted ‘to be sure the major contests
were covered," as far as gubernatorial,
senatorial, and congressional contests were
concerned. ‘We had affiliates in North
Carolina, Tennessee, [Ilinois, lowa, Texas,
and Michigan” to cover the expected clase
senatorial elections Chonigman said.

The network wanted to cover the Senate
races, as well, he said, ‘so the network
wouldn't fall apart afier the presidential
contest was decided,"*

There were 40 to $0 participants
assisting at SUNYA, including workers in
the SA office, WCDB, and at key points

throughout the Albany area, Chonigman
said.

The ENCN, besides being convenient
for the listeners, also saved WCDB money,
according to Chonigman. “Because of the
network, we saved money by not having to
send people to New York City or Vermont.
‘A lot of people are concerned about their
races back home," he said, adding that the
network made that coverage possible.

Heavy emphasis on grades
leads to stress in students

Salt Lake City, UT
(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) College classes
can give students harmful doses of stress
and pressure, according to a new Universi-
ty of Utah study.

In many college classes “there is an
overemphasis of grades and other
academic requirements that put “un-
necessary" pressure on students, said
David Spendiove, one of three Utah
medical instructors who conducted the
study of professional, graduate and
undergraduate students here,

Withholding grades and test scores,
publicly posting grades, and not clearly
defining what kind of performance is ex-
pected of students create needlessly high
levels of anxiety among students, the study
reported. “A lot of times it seems like
teachers enjoy hiding things from
students, trying to make it as difficult as
possible for them to learn,'’ Spendlove
said. “This is not teaching. It's just hur-
ting the students,"" he added.

“Many students have stress because they
feel they have no control"’ over their
academic lives, said study co-author Claire
Clark. Stress, she added, is ‘ta discomfor-
ting response of a person in a particular
situation.””

“Not all stress is negative," Clark said.
In fact, “the right amount of stress is

much stress can damage students’ learning
abilities, she added, causing them to
become confused, frustrated and out of
touch with their schoolwork,

Frequently, stressed-out students
overstudy or study minute details, missing
the “big picture" of a class, the study said,

But good instructors, the researchers
note, can eliminate much of the excess
stress that plagues students, For one thing,
“teachers should emphasize excitemen
about a subject rather than competition,"
said Spendlove, “Excitement is much
more rewarding.'*

Instructors also should mingle with theit
students, and get to know them as people,
he said. “By socializing with students,”
Spendlove explained, “faculty make
themselves more appr: ble, more
human.” And  insturctors should en
cot 3 students to socialize with cach
other, too, by allowing advanced students
to tutor beginners, the study suggested.

Students also should know carly in the
class what is expected of them, the study
said. Clark added it is vital for instructors
to give feedback to students so they have
some idea of their performace level. (2

$103M computer contract
may force ethics violations

(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) The col-
lege that wins a lucrative, $103 million
Pentagon grant — one of the most avidly-
sought government contracts in recent
memory — may live to regret it, a com-
puter industry critic claimed.

The winning campus may be forced to
let the Department of Defense (DoD) dic-
tate its engineering courses, and follow
strict DoD rules that could violate normal
scientific ethics, said Kenton Pattie of th

ational Communications Industries
Association, a computer trade group.
The contract will also put the winning
in direct competition with private
computer industries, he maintained
¢ Pentagon expects to announce its
November to host its new Soft-
gineering Institute (SEI), which
will research and develop computer soft
ware for military uses.

Five colleges remain in the competition
for the five-year SEI contract. The P
tagon won't name the competitors, picked
from a longer list of 14 universities that
submitted bids for the contract

The SEI would “authorize one universi-
ty to hustle, badger and press various eam-
pus engineering departments 10 make
changes to what a Department of Defense
model department should be," Pattie
warned, “The DoD should stay out of the
role of dictating curricula," he added.

Some universities known to be under
consideration for the contract, however,
say there is no way the DoD could control
the course content their students take. ‘I
doubt if it’s any serious problem for con-
cern," said Dr. Daniel Teichroew of the
University of Michigan. “It's a federally
funded research and development center
and, as such, the rules are very clearly
spelled out.”

“There are no instructions from the
DoD," agreed Dr. Weiss, Nor-
theastern University provost. “The
government can only react to the proposal
‘we submit, It's entirely up to us."”

The Pentagon will not make curriculum
\fecommendations, but will provide non-
binding general guidelines for operating
the SEI, a DoD official said.

But possible curriculum control is only
‘one worry, said Pattie, whose group would

like to have private businesses get the
ernment money. “Our deeper con-

Said Soldini,‘‘I didn’t know
how close I was until somebody
told me I had two yards to go.”

Running the ball 34 times did
take its toll on Soldini.

“At about 1:30 Saturday
night," said Soldini, ‘'I realized
that I had just run the ball 34
times and all of a sudden my
whole body tightened up."”

‘The Marist game was indicative
of Soldini's whole season; Soldini
started off slowly and got better
as the season wore on.

After two sub-100-yard games
against Ithaca and New Haven it
seemed as if Soldini was not fully
recovered from the broken fibula
he had suffered in the first game
of the previous season.

“¢My legs didn’t feel good in the
first two games," said Soldini
“Both of my ankles felt sore.””

But his leg healed because of an
extensive program that he was put
on by Albany State's Head
Trainer Jack Koelmel.

“We did some rehab work in
the summer,” said Koelmel, “But
he worked very hard in the right
direction,

“We would tell him what we
wanted him to do and he did
whatever we asked and more."*

Both Koelmel and Dr. James
Striker who performed the
surgery had a lot to do with
Soldini’s comeback.

“He (Jack) was great," said
Soldini, “He really spent a lot of
time with me, He and Dr. Striker
showed a lot of concern.”

Said Ford of Koelmel and
Striker, ‘They are both, number
fone, two fine human beings.
Number two, they are good fans,
and, number three, they are very
competent professionals."

After his ankle finally healed
Soldini started producing bi,
numbers,

Against Brockport in the third
game of the year, Soldini gained
125 yards, then three games later
he ran for 108 yards versus
Cortland.

‘Then came the Norwich game
when Soldini really went off. He
ran for 209 yards on that day in-
cluding a 91-yard scamper on the
second play from scrimmage.

“That run really made me feel
00d," said Soldini, who carries a
3.5 GPA in his classes at Albany.
“I had some good runs before but
I never broke one all the way.””

After that, Soldini had a
133-yard effort at Hofstra and a
90-yarder against Buffalo. Then
came Saturday's 162 yards to set
the record,

All throughout the season
Soldini was a consummate team
player.

During the Marist game Soldini
didn’t mind blocking. Both Ford
and Priore said that Soldini is tur-
ning himself into a great blocker.

“He's very tenacious,"
Ford, “He worked hard at
whatever we taught him.”

His teamwork was never as ap-
parent as in the Marist. game,
when he was urging on the
defense the whole game.

“Breaking the record was the

high point of the season for me,"
said Soldini on Sunday night's
WCDB Sports Spotlight.
“Because it was something we ac-
complished as a team and I’ve
never had such a team feeling as 1
did at that point.

“Coach Priore was behind me
all season and (Offensive Line
‘Coach Ed) Zaloom did a great job
with the offensive line and they
really did a great job for me."”

Tom DeBlois, whose record
Soldini broke, said from his of-
fice, “It's super, Records are
made to be broken, I didn’t know
anyone was that close even
though I came to a few games this
year, God bless him.

“41 feel bad that it’s broken, but
congratulations to the kid who
broke it. I’m glad my record
mad this year’s program. 1
won't show my kids next year's
program.”

Soldini still has one more year
of eligibility because he missed
last year due to his injury.

“I'm glad now that I have that
extra year of cligibility,”” said
Soldini.

Said Ford, ‘Dave is only a
junior as far as eligibility, we'll
have to wait and see how he
stacks up next year.”*

Spikers win first-ever SUNYACs

By Doug Israel
STAFE WRITER

Last weekend, the women’s
volleyball team captured the first
SUNYAC tournament ever held
for collegiate volleyball.

‘Thirteen teams participated in
the tournament with the Danes
seeded third.

The weekend began Friday
when the team defeated Buffalo
State, 15-2, 15-6, in the first
match of the round-robin com-
petition, Buffalo was seeded 12th.
The Danes’ next opponent was
Binghamton, whom the Danes
defeated, 15-11, 15-6. The

University of Buffalo provided a
litle more excitement, as they beat
the Danes, 14-16 in the first game.
Albany won game two by the
score of 15-7, and sweated out a
16-14 victory in the deciding
game.

Saturday morning, the spikers
finished the round robin with a
match against second seeded
Oneonta, which Albany won,
15-10, 15-13.

In the quarterfinals, Albany
met Plattsburgh and finished
them off, 15-13, 15-12. The team

“It usually works out that the

Davey Johnson: Mets will win pennant in 1985

By John Keenan
ASPECTS EDITOR

Before a crowd of over three hundred
pumped-up Met fans, a few Yankee fans,
and the one unfortunate who mate the
mistake of coming’ in a Chicago Cubs
shirt, Mets’ skipper Dave Johnson last
night. predicted an ‘85 pennant for his
team.

Johnson, whose managerial skills have
been accepted as a major factor in the
Mets’ one-year rise from last to second
place, spoke to the crowd for about 40
minutes before opening an extensive ques-
tion and answer period that went for about
an hour more

“You are the first group I've said this
o,"" Johnson said. "The New York Mets
next year will win the National League
title."

He went on to mention that the Chicago
Cubs, who proved to be the Mets downfall
this year, no longer had Rick Sutcliffe or
Steve Trout, while the Mets “have the
young talent.

“If you don't win. . .you know what
they do to managers,"’ Johnson joked. "If
we don't » Pl be fire yway.'*

Hardly. Johnson, who entered and ex-
ited the ballroom to a standing ovation
from the crowd, finished second in the
polling for Manager of the Year, and cur-
rently enjoys a large amount of popularity
‘among the team’s fans.

Johnson's appearance cost Speaker's
Forum $2,500, and it was obvious that
they were getting their money's worth. The
audience was so glad to be there, they
cheered the fire escape announcements
which precede every Ballroom
presentation.

During the question and answer period
following the speech, Johnson answered
all questions candidly, Most of the ques-
tions were of the “Why are you playing
this player instead of that player" variety,

and the subject of the Chapman-Backman
platoon at second arose repeatedly.

Chapman is ‘probably the best (number
two) hitter on the whole ballclub,””
Johnson maintained, and when one fan
protested the Wally Backman wasn't get-
ting enough playing time, Johnson
retorted “I'm platooning him.

Johnson also expressed a desire to fill

“Pm an advocate of Earl
Johnson advanced. ‘Get bigger guys, so
when they hit it, it goes out of the
ballpark.” Johnson expressed a desire for

big hairy chests, big legs. For

a while there, when Oquendo and
Backman were playing short and second,
we were afraid to get into a fight with
anybody,

On. the ever-touchy subject of Tom
Seaver, Johnson held that it was a ‘‘tough
situation, You don't want to lose him, but
you're paying him a million a year. If they
want to take him, and give you a chance to
bring up a young pitcher, let *em.””

Johnson, who uses a computer to select
his starting line-up, also knew the right
buttons to push on the audience, so that
the initial enthusiasm never really died
down. In his Texas A&M, aw-shucks

voice, he'd say something like ‘'. . .an’ 1
got this guy called. . .”” and follow with
names like Keith Hernandez, Jesse
Orosco, Dwight Gooden, and the crowd
would cheer.

He pointed out WCDB's Larry Fox, the
only man in the audience wearing a Cub
shirt, and invited him to stand up; he did,
and took his boos like a gentleman

When one Yankee fan told Johnson that
the Yankees would alway be the best team
in New York, Johnson replied jokingly
that he really did hope the Yankees
recovered from last season and did well,
because ‘‘it would be nice to have two first
class teams in New York again."

Yep. Johnson was also very quick to say
that he intended on getting Rusty Staub
back, stating, ‘‘He will be on the ballclub
next year.’’ He was a little hazier on the
subject of John Stearns, however. ‘His
arm's still tender,’’ Johnson said.

When he was asked the inevitable que
tion, “How did you feel immediately
before and immediately after the last out
of the 1969 World Series?" Johnson
responded, ‘‘! thought that ball was gone.
After, I just wanted to get off that field
with my life. They (the fans) came swarm-
ing down like ants or something.”

Johnson handled the criticism of various
ballplayers well, especially the subject of
Doug Sisk’s many walks. ‘‘He’d walk a
guy, and the next guy grounded into a dou-
ble play. Once, he walked the first three
guys, and the next guy grounded into a
double play." He shrugged; how can you
argue with a formula like that?

Johnson's vision of next year is an op-
timistic one, as he looks to build up his
ballclub in both strength and experience.
“1 don't want to be competitive. We were

Ground attack powers Danes over Marist, 43-0
Soldini sets rushing mark as Danes finish at .500

By Dean Chang
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

There was little doubt that the Albany
State Great Danes were going’ to defeat
Marist on Saturday. The burning question
of the day was whether or not Dave Soldini
could break Albany's single-season
rushing record. Soldini provided the
answer, 162 yards later.

The junior fullback needed to rush for
15 yards in the season finale to break
Tom DeBlois' record of 1,009 yards, a
mark set in 1975. After a slow first half
which saw Soldini compile only 36 yards,
Albany's coaches almost took Soldini out
of the game.

Soldini’s seventh run from scrimmage in

ME the second half saved him from being

qi

removed prematurely. From the Marist
42-yard line, Soldini burst through the
middle of the line and ran the ball 34 yards
to the eight-yard line, The chase was on.
“We knew that Dave was somewhat
within striking distance before the game,"
said Albany Head Coach Bob Ford
then we all
‘That run led to Albany's fourth
touchdown of the day and it gave the
G Danes a 28-0 lead over Marist. By the end
of the game, Albany would make the
score, 43-0. But Soldini was still $7 yards
short of his mark with little more than a
quarter left to play
OF the Danes’ next 27 offensive plays,
Soldini carried the ball 17 times, Everyone
knew who was going to get the ball, in-
cluding Marist’s defense
“We knew that he (Soldini) was going
for the record,” said Marist linebacker
coach John Kowal. “We knew that he was

going right up front. It was just a situation
# where State did a good job run blocking.

He's a good runner, and he deserves the
record."

There were some anxious moments for
Soldini fans in the final quarter. With less
than three minutes left to play, Albany

} faced a fourth-and-two from Marist’s
35-yard line. Soldini needed 15 yards for
the record, so this first down was crucial.

Soldini took the handoff and dragged

Dennis Murphy, shown battling down an attempted pass from Marist's John Can-

first down) on fourth down," said Soldini,
“1 was thinking about the record, but |

To properly judge Marist as an oppo-

the Danes.

“We use you guys as a barometer of
how far our team has come," said Kowal,

Jeff Russell threw one of his six first half

Defensive tackles John Redmond and
Chris Esposito kept the pressure on Marist
quarterback John Cannon, keeping shop
in Marist's backfield, Cannon was unim-
pressive in the face of pressure, as he miss-
ed his targets frequently.

“He (Cannon) didn't impress me at
all,”” said defensive back Anderson. “He
was throwing the ball over and under his
receivers, and he was forcing the ball, But
we were good on pass toverage.”

Anderson tried to make up for his three
fumbles with a 52-yard interception return

Women quality for first time ever

By Cathy Errig
STAPE WRITER

It had to have been the longest wait of
their athletic careers,

Chris Varley had crossed the finish line
twenty-one minutes and five seconds after
the gun had signaled the commencement
of the NCA Division IIT Eastern Central
Region Woman's Cross Country Comp
tion, the final member of the team
representing Albany State to do so,

The female Danes knew that they had
ruin extremely well; although they had been
beaten by nationally ranked Ithaca Col-
lege, they had finished ahead of Cortland
and Plattsburgh and could just about con-
sider their goal of finishing second in the
competition, which would qualify them
for the Nationals, a reality.

However, one factor prohibited the feel-
ings of relief, pride and accomplishment to
prevail in the minds of the women. In-
stead, feelings of anxiety and uncertainty
prevailed.

This factor was a powerful team that
had not competed in last weekend's
ECAC, a meet that had given Albany's
women valuable confidence and
momentum.

‘As Bette Dzamba recalled, ‘*Everyone
forgot to look at Stony Brook.

‘And now all the women could do was
wait for the announcement of the official
results, an action that would not take place
until after the running of the men’s race,

It was aw ful; we were just left hanging
there,"’ remember Lynn Jacobs. “We were
all so nervous. We didn't find out at all the
way we had wanted to,

But the official results were well worth
waiting for. After an agonizing 45 minutes
had passed, it was finally announced that
Albany State had indeed placed second in
the meet and had qualified for the NCAA
Division II] National Competition.

‘The overall results of the meet were:
Ithaca, 23; Albany, 85; Plattsburgh and
Cortland, 118; Binghamton, 124;

Fredonia, 141; Stony Brook, 147;
Rochester, 174; Hunter, 258; Vassar, 286;
NYU, 347; and Hartwick, Union,

Kathy Livingston took the top indi
honor with a time of 18:34 over the wet,
slow course.

Coach Ron White made no effort to
conceal his excitement and pride as he ex-
claimed, ‘*They certainly deserve it, and 1

pen; this team has that certain chemistry
that is the true key behind success

recruiting you want but if that special
‘mix’ isn't there you're not going to have a
championship team, I've been saying all
season long that ‘the best is yet to come’
and this weekend it came!”

It came in the form of a solid second
place finish with all five of Albany's scor-
ing runners finishing within the top 25.
Karen Kurthy led the Danes with a time of
19:13.4, finishing in seventh overall, with
teammate Kim Pettichord right behind her
in eighth place with 19:15.

Jacobs was the next in for Albany,
crossing the finish line in 19:46.3 for a 2ist
place finish, Close behind Jacobs were
Dzamba in 24th with 19:54.3 and Donna
Burnham in 25th with 19:58.2. The spread
between the first and fifth runners, 43.8
seconds, is a new university record.

Rounding out Albany's competing team
were Rachel Brastow, 38th place with
20:24.5, and Varley, whose time of 21:05.9
put her in 52nd position,

Never should it be forgotten, however,
that the Albany State women's cross coun-
try team is not made up of only these seven
runners. The balance of the team, Sue

In an impressive show of determination,
the Albany State men’s cross-country team
dramatically outran the competition over
the last two miles of a very muddy course
to win a trip to the National Champion-
ships and finished second of the 19 teams
competing in the NCAA New York
Regional Qualifiers held at Hamilton Col-
lege last Saturday.

Ranked fourth in the nation, St.
Lawrence just edged the 10th-ranked
Danes, scoring 58 points to Albany's 70.

trip to the Nationals by winning the tight
battle for third place with the Rochester

the Univ. of Rochester, fifth with 127

McGill and lan Clements, as Fredonia’s
top four runners stayed up front, clustered
around McGill, and threatening to upset
Albany's repeat as the number one SUNY
team.

Said McGill, ‘I didn’t really see them
much, but I knew that they'd gone out fast
to try to be in it.'* Clements put on a surge
in the third mile to move up into 18th place
and McGill moved from 10th to eighth,
but at the four-mile mark, Fredonia was in
first, St. Lawrence second, and Albany a
distant fourth.

Soldini smashes Albany season rushing record

By Keith Marder

SPORTS EDITOR

Dave Soldini picked himself up off the
University Field (urf and dragged his
weary body to the bench. He was huffing
and puffing with blood coming from the
sides of his mouth. Surrounded by team-

mates, Equipment Manager Benny Siegel
fought through the crowd and presented
him with the game ball. Soldini stood up
and went over to Tom Jacobs, the hulking
offensive captain. Soldini gained

teammate the game ball.

On Saturday, Soldini rushed for 162
yards which gaye him 1,017 yards for the
season and anew Albany record. He broke
Tom DeBlois’ old record of 1,009 yards
which was set in 1975.

The most amazing factor to Soldini set-
ting the record was that his last 45 yards
came without help from Jacobs who was
thrown out of the game with 13:45 left.

After an extra point six Marist players
pounced on John Sawchuck. Jacobs then
picked one of them up and threw him off
of his teammate.

“John wasn't even near the play,"* said
Jacobs, “‘and six of their guys jumped on
him. I just took one of them off of John
and threw him of f.""

Jacobs, in both Soldini’s and Head
Coach Bob Ford's words is, ‘the best of.
fensive lineman ever to play at Albany.

But, back to Soldini. The fact of the
matter is that Soldini almost never got a
chance to break the record.

With only 36 yards in the first half and
119 more needed to break the record, both
running back coach Chuck Priore and
Ford pondered taking Soldini out.

“It was close to the end of the third
quarter, he only had 45 yards and we
wanted to give a couple of our other kids
time,” said Priore.

“But then he broke that 34-yarder,"* ad-
ded Priore, ‘'And that brought his total up

to about 95 yards, then all of a sudden we
knew he had a shot.””

“At halftime I thought the record was
out of reach,” said Soldini, ‘1 knew we'd
be winning the game and they'd probably
take me out. At the half I was really worry-
ing about finishing up on a good note. I
have to.admit it looked pretty bleak until
that. 34-yarder; that rejuvenated my
hopes.

That 34-yarder came with about four
minutes left in the third quarter and it real-
ly got Soldini rolling.

On the Danes’ next drive Soldini got 25
out of the Danes’ $4 yards which led to an
Anthony Nozzi one-yard touchdown run.

Then Jacobs got thrown out of the game
and Soldini had to do the finishing touches
without the Danes’ best offensive lineman
ever. But he responded by running through
Marist’s defense after his first drive
without Jake.

On that first drive, all Soldini could
manage was one run for a three-yard loss.

Then Dane linebacker Mike Buchmeier
intercepted a pass on the Marist 23. Soldini
then gained seven yards on two carries
before Nozzi ran the ball in for a 16-yard
touchdown,

With 6:13 left in the game Marist took
possession on their own 30 when Albany's
kicker Charlie Giknis boomed his kickoff
out of the end zone,

Conservatives fail to get SA fee axed

By Jane Anderson
Buffalo, NY

SUNY-Buffalo students voted overwhelmingly to keep
their activity fee mandatory Thursday despite a strong
push by a conservative coalition working to make the fee
voluntary.

The coalition sought a voluntary fee in an effort to end
funding to certain so-called “liberal” groups.

‘The threat to make the fee voluntary was great enough,
however, to prompt eight SUNYA Student Association
members to travel to Buffalo Wednesday to fight for the
mandatory fee.

Buffalo students voted 3,038 to 704 in favor of a man-
datory fee, and 2,273 to 1,628 in favor of increasing their
fee to $89 a year. Students at Buffalo currently pay $79 a
year.

Two armed attackers forced their way into a
SUNYA student’s dorm room on State Quad Tuesday
night, robbing him of $700, according to University
Police reports.

SUNYA’s Department of Public Safety is working in
cooperation with the Albany police force to investigate
the robbery, said Public Safety Director James R.
Williams.

The robbery, which occurred in Tappan Hall was
allegedly committed by two black males wearing ski
jackets and carrying pistols.

According to David Marsh, one of the two students
present at the robbery, he and his suitemate Chris
Schanker, heard a knock at their suite door at 10:45
p.m. “Chirs opened the door and two guns were star-
ing him in the face,” Marsh said.

One of the attackers pushed him to the floor, Marsh
said, and held a gun to his head while the other attacker
‘dragged Schanker to his room where his $700 was in
an open drawer. “The money was in clear view,"
Schanker said,

The thieves were in the suite for approximately a
minute and a half he added,

Schanker and Marsh notified University police ap-
proximately 15 minutes after the attackers left. “The
told us not to move until they were gone and then they
just disappeared,” said Marsh,

Marsh said he believes the robbery was a planned at-
tack. “I don’t think they would just come into the
room if they didn't know there was money,” said
Marsh, He added that people ‘‘come in to the suite all
the time and anyone could have told their friends about
the money."”

According to Williams, the robbery did not appear

Student loses $700 to armed robbers

Students voted to keep the fee mandatory by a4 to 1

SUNY Board of Trustee guidelines state that at least
once every four years, each campus must hold a refer

mandatory.

Buffalo Student Association President Jane McAlevey
claimed that the school had been one of many “targeted””
schools across the country where selected groups are
funded to promote conservatism among college students,

‘These groups are also expected to work to stop the fun-
ding of so-called ‘liberal’ groups such as Public Interest
Research Groups (PIRGs) and Student Associations,

thought the theft was drug-related,

Schanker asserted, ‘I was more shocked than
anyone else.

“I didn’t think I had to worry about armed robbery
on a state campus," he added,

Schanker said he won the $700 at the Monticello
racetrack over the summer, When asked why he had
kept the money in his room, Schanker said that it was
for ‘*personal expenses."*

University potice are operating under the assumption
that the thieves were not students, explained Williams.
“Most students don’t have access to even realistic toy
guns," he said, adding that all four of the department's
investigators are working on the case.

Most campus robberies do not involve handguns,
but rather “‘strongarm threats. Only a couple of times a
year does a robbery involve handguns,” said Williams,
adding that five other campus robberies have been
reported this year.

There are conflicting descriptions of the attackers.
Williams reported that one of the attackers was about
5°6" tall and masked and the other, he said, was about
5'10” tall and also masked.

Marsh described both attackers as being over six feet
tall and over 200 pounds, They were not masked, he
said, but had ‘‘the hoods of their ski jackets pulled
tightly over their heads" which made only their eyes
visible, he said, adding that he got the impression they
were older than most students,

There were no witnesses other than Schanker and
Marsh and there are no suspects in the case yet,
Williams reported. He urged anyone with information

NUMBER 39

SA leaders predict no
conservative anti-fee

campaign at SUNYA

Although conservative groups at SUNY-Buffalo suc-
ceeded in alarming student government officials
statewide, student leaders at Albany say they do not an-
ticipate a similar threat to this campus’ mandatory a
ty fee,

SUNYA students will vote next year on whether to keep
the activities fee, which funds many diverse campus
groups, mandatory at this school.

This week, a coalition of conservative groups at SUNY-
Buffalo lost a battle to make Buffalo's mandatory activi-
ty fee, which was up for a vote, voluntary.

While losing the actual vote, the conservative coalition
al Buffalo did manage to scare student leaders at SUNY
schools statewide, including SUNYA's Student Assoc
tion officials, some of whom went to Buffalo this week to
help lobby voters to keep the fee mandatory.

“The SUNYA campus is a lot more liberal than Buf-
falo,"" said Student Action Chair Steve Gawley, adding
that majority student approval for a voluntary fee really
couldn't happen here.”*

The last time SUNYA students went to the polls to vote
on the fee, in Fall, 1983, 85 percent of those voting chose
to keep it mandatory. SUNYA students will pay $49,50 in
activity fee money, next semester.

Guidelines set by the SUNY Board of Trustees state
that every four years, each campus must hold a referen-
dum on whether of not to make the activity fee voluntary.
SUNYA has been holding the referendum every two
years.

‘The conservative leaders at Buffalo said their aim in
pushing for a voluntary fee was to de-fund what they call-
ed “politically biased groups," such as the Student
Association of the State University (SASU), media
organizations with liberal editorial policies and some
ethnic groups.

SUNYA's SA President Rich Schaffer said that the
Buffalo Student Association is more decentralized than
SUNYA’s SA, which made Buffalo a good school for
conservative groups to “target” for a voluntary fee.

Gawley contended, “Our (SUNYA's) SA is so much
more active" than Buffalo's that ‘we brought more peo-
ple to protest than they had" to work for the mandatory
fee on the Buffalo campus.

A former College Republican official at SUNYA said
he doesn’t think the SA on this campus has anything to
worry about. “It (the mandatory fee referendum)
wouldn't have any trouble passing,"” on the SUNY A cam-
pus, said State Chairman of the New York College
Republicans David Ross, who until recently served as
Vice President of the SUNYA College Republicans.

SASU’s Organizational Director Troy Oechsner
disagreed.

‘It could happen here, (SUNY A)," he said, citing a re-
cent sudden movement for a voluntary fee on the SUNY-
Binghamton campus as an example, The Binghamton
students voted to keep the fee mandatory.

SUNYA’s SA officials said they will be taking steps to
increase the visibility of the mandatory activity fee's
benefits on campus.

Schaffer said that, after the winter break, he plans to
propose posting information on funded student groups
and activities in the dorms, to promote “high visibil
of SA funded groups and events, and to show students

“what the activity fee can do for you."

“It’s in part a response” to the conservative activity at
SUNY-Buffalo, but also, “it’s our responsibility to do
something like that,”” Schaffer explained,

Schaffer said that “tin a couple of years, maybe"
enough support for a voluntary fee could be raised at
SUNYA, but stressed that he expected the student reac
tion to go against $, esident Ronald Reagan by then, and
end conservative support.

Ross said that, although he would prefer the fee be
voluntary, the only group he would actively oppose fun-

ding is the New York Public Interest Research Group

(NYPIRG), a campus consumer organization that

" receives $3 per semester from every student. This fee is
"not included in the mandatory student activity fee, but is

voted on separately every few years,
“‘1'm not anti-student group,"” he said,
